The Camping Trip
The Single Dads club was on its first official outing.
A small group of Single Dads and their Daughters had taken to the trail head earlier in the day, going on a group camping trip. It was Friday, and they'd be spending the weekend camping in the Wilderness - a way to unwind and get away from their daily lives. The scenery was beautiful, of course, and their campsite was located next to a pristine mountain lake. They'd be able to go swimming in its cold waters and filter the water directly to refill their waterbottles. It would serve as their base camp, while on Saturday they could go off hiking where ever they wanted. They would hike back out on Sunday, two nights in the Wilderness.
Of course, there was a bit of tension in the air as they set up camp. While the fathers were beginning to relax and crack open the first beers, the daughters were up to something - something the fathers were not aware of. As the tents went up, a suggestion was made - for the daughters to swap tents, so they wouldn't have to sleep next to their own fathers. This was met with mixed results but it was soon agreed upon - the girls would pick their tent buddies.
A fire was soon roaring once the tents were setup, each one spaced out to form a tirangle between them, the fire in the middle, affording each tent a level of privacy though any sort of loud noises would be heard by all. A meal of baked potatoes and steak was cooked on the fire and as the night deepened, the air began to grow colder. It was decided it was best to go to bed - the hike had been tiring and there was still a lot to do in the morning.
